TL;DR: The results demonstrate that rapid, event-related NIRS can provide robust estimates of the hemodynamic response without artifacts due to low-frequency signal components, unlike data from blocked designs, and suggests that this difference may be attributable to different capillary transit times in these cortices.

TL;DR: The INCF Task Force on Neuroimaging Datasharing, in conjunction with several collaborative groups around the world, has started work on several tools to ease and eventually automate the practice of data sharing, hoped that such tools will allow researchers to easily share raw, processed, and derived neuroimaging data, with appropriate metadata and provenance records, and will improve the reproducibility of neuroim imaging studies.

TL;DR: It is found that dependent variables from self-report surveys of self-regulation have high test–retest reliability, while DVs derived from behavioral tasks do not, and it is confirmed that this is due to differences in between-subject variability.

TL;DR: How the field should evolve is described to produce the most meaningful answers to neuroscientific questions, and current and suggested best practices are outlined.

TL;DR: Using functional neuroimaging, a relationship between frontal lobar connectivity and common genetic variants in CNTNAP2 is demonstrated, providing a mechanistic link between specific genetic risk for neurodevelopmental disorders and empirical data implicating dysfunction of long-range connections within the frontal lobe in autism.
